Meek Mill Claims He Stared At A Picture Of Biggie In His Casket For 30 Minutes

by

Meek Mill has been subject to numerous strange headlines over the years, this year especially. Some of that came from bizarre allegations made against him in producer Lil Rod’s evocative lawsuit against Diddy filed earlier this year. Meek was included in the lawsuit though claims allegedly made by Diddy that the pair had a sexual encounter. Unsurprisingly, that resulted in a field day of roasts from rap fans online that’s lasted for months.

Now it’s something that Meek said directly that has rap fans scratching their heads. “Today I seen biggie in a casket I stared at that pic for 30mins a Straight!” his new post reads. It’s the lack of any context that has led fans to speculate on what he’s talking about. For example, he doesn’t give any information on who has the alleged picture of Biggie or how he came into contact with it. That’s led many fans to crack jokes about Diddy, who is directly associated with Biggie. The post certainly isn’t doing Meek any favors in terms of getting clowned by fans online. Check out some of the reactions to his strange tweet below.

Meek Mill’s Confusing Biggie Tweet

For many of Diddy’s former allies, the leaked footage of his alleged assault of Cassie was the final straw. The hotel security camera footage hit the internet last month when CNN published it as part of their continued investigation into the rap mogul. In the aftermath of the video’s release some who used to be close to Diddy like LeBron James and Yung Miami finally unfollowed him on Instagram. Meek followed in their footsteps finally unfollowing him as well. Diddy is still facing an investigation into sex trafficking by the federal government.

What do you think of Meek Mill claiming he looked at a picture of Biggie in his casket for 30 minutes? How do you think he came in contact with the picture in the first place? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake & Kendrick Lamar Can’t Stop Their Crews From Turning To Violence, Boosie Badazz Claims

by

It’s no secret that Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s viral lyrical battle went a bit further than most fans expected. Regardless, neither of them resorted to violence amid the feud, though some were concerned that they might. Boosie Badazz, for example, was vocal about his disapproval of the beef. In various Tweets and videos, he explained that things had the potential to turn ugly in a hurry, despite preconceived notions fans may have about Drake and Kendrick.

He echoed this same sentiment during a recent interview with VladTV, clarifying his statements in response to skepticism from followers. Boosie claimed that while the artists themselves aren’t likely to get violent, that doesn’t mean the same for their respective crews.

Boosie Badazz Weighs In On Drake Vs. Kendrick Lamar

“In my comments, they’re saying ‘Boosie calm down, it’s Drake and Kendrick.’ That’s what most people are telling me,” he began. “Is that same Drake and Kendrick the same 20 people around you in your entourage? That’s not the same person.” Boosie continued, speculating that the two rappers may not have as much say in their crews as one might expect. He said something similar following the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s album We Still Don’t Trust You, arguing that if people are willing to support rap beef, they should be willing to go support those who end up in court over it.

Boosie also described how tragic it would be if Drake or Kendrick were to get hurt over their feud in a video with Ari Fletcher last month, noting how drastically the tone would shift. “Cuz what if somebody shoot Drake up? The whole world gon be sad… Somebody shoot Kendrick Lamar a** up? Chop his a** up? The whole house gon be quiet,” he said. What do you think of Boosie Badazz claiming that Drake and Kendrick Lamar can’t control their respective crews amid their beef? Does he have a point? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Latto Revealed The Secret Third Feature On Her ‘Sunday Service’ Remix With Megan Thee Stallion

Latto and Megan Thee Stallion have been teasing their “Sunday Service” remix for a bit, promising a secret third collaborator, who they just revealed. While many thought it might be Meg’s tourmate GloRilla, with whom Latto has a friendly dance rivalry going, it actually turned out to be another of rap’s current It-Girls: Flo Milli. The song is about to drop in just a few hours, at midnight on June 7, but if you thought the hype couldn’t get any greater, you’ve got another think coming.

Ironically, it’ll be the first time Flo Milli has worked with either woman, but they’ve all circled each others’ orbits for a while. In November, both Latto and Flo Milli participated in an XXL Cypher Lab freestyle session with Monaleo, Maiya The Don, and Mello Buckzz, and back in 2022, they interviewed each other (while indoor skydiving, no less) for Rolling Stone‘s “Musicians On Musicians” series.

The trio also linked up backstage during the rescheduled Atlanta stop of Meg and Glo’s Hot Girl Summer Tour, where the aforementioned twerk battle took place. All are part of a recent wave of women in rap teaming up with each other to improve all their chances in a male-dominated genre, which has included Cardi B appearing on Flo Milli’s “Never Lose Me,” Cardi rapping on Glo and Meg’s “Wanna Be,” and Meg and Glo teaming up together in first place.

You can listen to the “Sunday Service” remix at midnight Eastern/9 PM Pacific.

After announcing their collaborative album, Bad Cameo, in February, Lil Yachty and James Blake have finally given fans a release date to look forward to. Bad Cameo is slated for release June 28th via Quality Control Music/Motown Records and Republic Records. Back when they announced the project, Yachty said of the work that “it’s so left — for both of us.”

In a new feature in Complex, the two artists shared their views on each other’s songs, which helped prompt their collaboration, and the similarities in their work styles. “Before we got this close, I thought all musicians were like me and music was all day every day,” said Yachty. Blake pointed out how this helped their process, saying, “I know a lot of people who just don’t really want to consume that much outside of what they make. And actually I’m a bit like that. I make music for myself. I say I don’t listen to music. Obviously I do. There’s loads of albums I love. And if I’m driving and we’re going on a road trip or something, I’ll play music in the car. But I really value peace.”

Bad Cameo is due on 6/28 via Quality Control Music/Motown Records and Republic Records. You can find more information here.

Diddy Broke Kim Porter’s Nose & Immediately Flew In Plastic Surgeon, Ex-Bodyguard Alleges

by

Diddy’s has been met with no shortage of damning allegations in recent months. Unfortunately, they don’t show any signs of slowing down either. In May, CNN unveiled disturbing footage of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie at a hotel in 2016, which only added fuel to the fire. As the footage made its rounds online, social media users began to dig into his other past relationships, questioning whether or not more of his former lovers fell victim to his alleged abuse. Many have theorized that the mother of three of his children Kim Porter may have, though this is unconfirmed.

One of Diddy’s ex-bodyguards, Roger Bonds, agrees. During a recent interview with VladTV, he opened up about working for Diddy from 2003 to 2012, revealing some of the more shocking things he witnessed. He recalled one incident in particular dating back to around 2005 when he picked up the then-couple from a yacht excursion. Upon seeing them, however, he realized that Porter’s nose had allegedly been broken.

Roger Bonds Speaks On Disturbing Alleged Yacht Incident

“Kim was basically just quiet,” Bonds explained. “You could tell she was sad. It wasn’t like somebody was supposed to look when they came off a vacation on a yacht… And she had some tape over her nose.” DJ Vlad then pulled up a photo of Porter with tape on her nose, asking if it was taken after the incident. Bonds alleged that it was and that shortly after, Diddy flew in a plastic surgeon to treat the injury.

“Puff will fly in whatever you need to cover himself up,” he described, recalling other times when Diddy would allegedly recruit doctors to treat her. “He was controlling when it came to Kim.” What do you think of Diddy’s ex-bodyguard Roger Bond’s latest allegations against the mogul?

ESPN Used Metro Boomin’s ‘Runnin Outta Time’ For Its NBA Finals Ad Campaign

by

The NBA Finals will begin on Thursday night. The Boston Celtics will represent the Eastern Conference as champions, while the Dallas Mavericks made it through the gauntlet that is the Western Conference to end up on this stage. It’s a fascinating matchup between two teams that are elite on the defensive end of the floor and are led by All-Star duos — Boston hopes that the Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown duo will finally get over the hump and win a ring, while Dallas has one of the best offensive 1-2 punches in league history in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

The Finals are always a big occasion, and this year, ESPN enlisted the help of Metro Boomin to promote it. The Worldwide Leader in Sports teamed up with Metro to create an ad in the lead-up to the Finals set to his track “Runnin Outta Time” featuring Future. You can check out the ad — which will air throughout the Finals — at the top of this post.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals will tip off on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. EST on ABC. The first two games of the series will take place in Boston, where the Celtics went 37-4 during the regular season. However, if the Mavs want to be optimistic, both of Boston’s losses this postseason have come on their home floor.

Metro Boomin’s Sister Slams Him For Going After Drake But Letting Soulja Boy Slide

by

Metro Boomin’s sister has had a lot to say about him online in recent days, and one clip in particular has managed to get a lot of fans’ attention. In it, she calls out her brother for his responses to his recent feuds with both Drake and Soulja Boy. According to her, Drake’s “Make some drums” jab was far less serious than Soulja Boy’s unhinged rant. She points out that while Metro made an entire “diss beat” in response to Drake, he seemingly spared Soulja Boy.

For reference, Soulja Boy caught wind of an old Tweet written by Metro Boomin in 2012 last month and immediately took to social media to demand he delete it. “F*ck is you talking about Metro Groomin?” he asked, also bringing up the producer’s late mother. “You sacrificed your own mom @MetroBoomin you a puppet,” he said. “All the streams, sales, money, and fame not gone bring your mom back @MetroBoomin was it worth it?”

Metro Boomin’s Sister Questions Lack Of Response To Soulja Boy

21 Savage even ended up getting involved, and seeing the wrath of Soulja Boy as a result. Regardless, Metro kept quiet, refusing to acknowledge the wild insults. His sister finds this strange and wonders why dissing their mother didn’t upset him more. “This n***a get so out of his body and bothered about what [Drake] said that he goes out of his way to respond with a song,” she began. “This n***a Soulja Boy said he sacrificed our mama and what this b*tch say? Not a motherf*cking thing… So that’s something that you’re allowing people to think about you… And I’m the cr*zy one?”

What do you think of Metro Boomin’s sister calling him out for his seemingly disproportionate responses to Drake and Soulja Boy? Does she have a point, or not? Why do you think Metro Boomin decided not to clap back at Soulja Boy? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Bryson Tiller Claims DJ Khaled “Didn’t Really Care” About His Depression

by

It goes without saying that struggling with one’s mental health can make any task feel insurmountable, particularly for those who suffer from depression. Unfortunately, however, not everyone understands. During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, for example, Bryson Tiller recalled opening up to DJ Khaled about his battle with depression. According to him, the advice he received in return was less than effective.

Tiller explained how he was collaborating with DJ Khaled on his 2016 album Major Key when he made the confession. He had told Khaled that he wasn’t in an ideal headspace to take on the project. Instead of empathizing with him, however, he simply told Tiller to channel his pain into the music.

DJ Khaled Told Bryson Tiller To “Put It In The Music”

“If you go listen to the song that I did for Khaled’s Major Key album [‘Ima Be Alright’], I told him before we did it. He was like, ‘Yo, I need a song!’ This is when I’m like super buzzing,” Tiller described. “I was like, ‘I’ma just be honest with you, Khaled, I’m depressed right now. I got a lot going on: lawsuits, people threatening me back in my hometown, all types of stuff.’ He was like, ‘Nah, man, just put it in the music.’ Every time I listen to [‘Ima Be Alright’] I cringe so hard because I’m like, ‘Man, this is not who I am.’ He eventually ended up bringing me ‘Wild Thoughts.’”

Tiller added that while Khaled’s advice helped him a bit, it shouldn’t be everyone’s go-to. “He didn’t really care […] ‘Put it in music’ is not always the best thing. Don’t get me wrong, it works. I hate when I’m going through some sh*t and then I gotta go be [regular],” he said. What do you think of Bryson Tiller revealing that he once opened up to DJ Khaled about having depression? What about Khaled’s blunt advice? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
